Tal Golan: The Politics of Memory

The event features Tal Golan, a professor of history and son of a Holocaust survivor from Poland. Yuzek Goldberg (later Joseph Golan) grew up in the Polish town of Nowe Miasto and spent time in Warsaw ghetto before going into hiding. In 1947, he immigrated to Palestine. Goldberg was one of many Holocaust survivors who kept silent about their ordeal until late in life when he decided to commit his memories to paper. In this talk Tal Golan reflects on the politics of memory and the struggle for Israeli identity.
